Climate Finance in Practice: Tracking, Pricing and Delivering

Climate finance is evolving—not in terms of commitment scarcity, but in tackling how capital is priced, tracked, governed, and delivered. This conversation is critical for areas facing the most climate risks and the least institutional capacity.

Join us for an insightful discussion on connecting global capital with local outcomes, focusing on the essential roles:

• Banks, Development Finance Institutions, and Private Investors in mobilizing investments.
• Incorporating climate risk into asset pricing and financial decision-making.

We will explore whether current financial systems adequately reward resilience and long-term value creation or if climate risks and opportunities remain mispriced.

Key Discussion Points:

• Ensuring climate finance reaches vulnerable communities while maintaining accountability and investor confidence.
• The impact of digital public infrastructure and data systems in tracking climate finance flows, enhancing transparency, and strengthening local oversight.

As demands to prove the real-world impact of climate finance rise, we’ll discuss what it takes to make climate finance more investable, accountable, and effective.

Discussion Group Leaders:

• Archit Fursule - Lead Engagement and Partnership at CSI Global, focusing on climate finance collaboration across the Asia-Pacific.
• Kristen Robinson - Head of Advocacy at Open Contracting Partnership, promoting transparent climate finance through open data.
• Vinay Jaju - Founder of EarthON Foundation, advancing clean energy and sustainable livelihoods.

Questions to Ponder:

1. How can finance mechanisms be redesigned to better serve underserved communities?
2. What role does digital infrastructure play in increasing transparency and local accountability?
3. How are climate risks reflected in asset pricing, and where are the gaps?
4. What changes are needed to channel climate finance to fragile communities while attracting institutional capital?
